Arizona Chickens

[igorsMistress]

Good morning AZ. Super happy the rain isn’t a gulley washer today, we need it to soak in. Hoping the next storm does the same.

With regard to broodies, the sooner you catch them the better in my experience, especially right now while the weather is cool. All it took was a full night on the roost and no access to the nest site and voila, my girl broke. This is the second time I’ve done that in winter and it worked well, but I caught the girls right away.

Remember also to check them for bumblefoot or other apparent health issues that might be causing them to seclude themselves (because they have some trouble walking or functioning around the rest of the flock, they don't want to look weak) that might make them broody or broody-like.

Mine is just plain broody. I'll let her back out when I see that she has decided to stop being that way. In the meantime she still has food and water, and they all can see each other.

Really enjoying the rain here too! Can't wait to see this spring's wildflowers. With all the rain we've had, it should be a spectacular display!

Oooh, I hope it's a good Spring for wildflowers this year! My daughter-in-law & son are visiting in mid-March and this will be the first time she's visited AZ in the Springtime.

What state will they be coming from? Mid-March is a good time, as it will be before the heat set's in.

From Florida. She's been here in mid-summer a few times and also mid-winter. It'll be lovely if everything is in bloom.

With this light rain at least I got to wear my Slogger's out to the coop and mailbox. The flock sure look's at the Slogger's funny when I wear them out there. I think that they are trying to figure out how all of those mini chicken's got on my feet.

We enjoy a long drive once a year to go see flowers, I’m looking forward to it as we skipped the last couple of years.

I hope we have perfect weather and lots of flowers when she’s here.
